Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Java Man]

Also. I am a fan of the FKK format in Germany and really enjoyed frequenting those places. I hear termas are similar to that. Are the termas only in rio? Or does SP have them as well? Thanks for any insight, as usual!

Termas are only in Rio. I haven't played in SP, but remember, SP is unbelievably HUGE! Pain to get around due to traffic. I haven't visited the FKK's, but will be rectifying that this week in Frankfurt.

Isn't Pestana expensive? That is a lot of money to pay to have to get past a few things.

Their basic room in high season was $85 a day which is a very fair price for it's location and very nice pool. The best room in the hotel, the ocean front suite high season you can get for about $205 a night and it's really nice. The basic room in the Marriott is $198 and they get the same complaints and you know that hotel. I prefer the Pestana over the Marriott because they have outside balconies and bigger rooms. Many Americans expect a higher standard and complain about everything even when its not so bad.

The Pestana gets mixed reviews on TripAdvisor, some love it and others hate it. The basic problem is that the hotel needs a face lift, new furniture, paint, fixtures etc. But if you can get past this then it's an ok place to stay.

Greetings fellow travelers,

I am planning a first-time trip to Brazil (and still debating on whether to go to Rio or SP), but I think a big part of that decision will be based on which city has the better strip-club brothel / FKK type scene. My favorite platform for P4P is to frequent a place like Fase Dos (Medellin) and then to select from the many girls dancing / walking around. Which city would be better for that between Rio and SP?

IMO, Thermas in Rio are the closest to the FKKs. I have been to SP only once and sampled clinicas during the day and boates at night, nothing like the FKKs.

Hi guys,

Planning a trip to Rio.

This may be belong to the Hotel and Apartment thread but I see little activities there so I put it here. Hope you won't mind.



C. I have been told that.

Pestana.

Could be visitor-friendly but I sense even that info was given to me in a non-confirming subtle way perhaps. Plus I saw some not so favorable review about the hotels themselves, anyone stayed at any of them before?

Thanks a lot!

You should be OK at the Pestana, just check the girls in no additional fee, maybe make res for 2.

I read one review recently that the hotel is in a prostitute zone so you can imagine the type of people coming in and out. This is so far from the truth, who knows maybe that poster saw 1 girl and he freaked.

Prices are mixed on all the different sites, sometimes Pestana site has a better price other times Hotels.com only on the APP has a better price, be patient and shop around.

I was in Rio this past April and t65 was a regular terma like before it closed. So unless things changed from April, it is still a regular girl terma.

It's possible that it is no longer. Someone asked on GpGuia if had closed again on Jun 15,2018. Sadly, there was no response. I'm unable to find anything recent about it on the local Rio forums.

T65 has been closed down since late May and they turned it into gay sauna like Aerioporto terma in order for them to make more money. Aeroporto was successful in making more money from gays than straights. So that's why they did the same to T65.

It's always a matter of money in Brazil. It's not a matter of what's normal or not.

The website you are referring to is outdated. Google is not always correct. T65 turned into gay club. And there are many other things that are outdated.

Please update us. Por Favor.

Does anyone have intel on a club / terma called Mosaico in or near VM? It was recommended by a friend based on word of mouth. Would like to hear first hand accounts.

Thanks!
